A CSTR is to be designed in which an exothermic liquid phase first order reaction of the type, A ? R, is taking place. The reactor is to be provided with a jacket in which coolant is flowing. Following data is given: CA0= 5 kmole/m3; XA = 0.5; Feed temperature = reactor temperature = 40C. Rate constant at 40C = 1 min-1; (?H) = 40kJ/mole; ? = 1000kg/m3 CP = 4 J/gm.C ; q = 10-3 m3/min (? and CP are same for the reactant and product streams). The amount of heat to be removed is_________________?
